Didn't see much. Photographed a large Clark's spiny lizard. Walked a side canyon and found running water. There were some good sized puddles with tadpoles in them, probably canyon treefrogs and red-spotted toads. Found a side canyon to the one I was in with running water too. I hiked up it. It was ideal habitat for species like mtn. kings, green rats, garters, rock rattlers, tigers, and blacktails, and ringnecks, but I didn't see any snakes. The temp was only in the mid-eighties, but it was very humid. Should have better luck later tonight.



PS: The birding is great here. This morning among those we saw were Western tanager, verdin, Bell's vireo, and Eddie saw a magnificent hummingbird and a gopher snake off on his own. Hope Phoenix gets rain soon
